How is a good and successful teacher

 

Hello everyone!  I hope you are well and in a good mood! As classes are ending I still need to emphasize that lectures, blogs , assignments etc..  of this subject have helped me a lot how to implement the technology and its tools in education. Each week we had topics chosen by our professor, but this week she left us a free choice, a free topic. Consequently, I saw appropriate to talk about how to be a good and a successful teacher. I will try to share my thoughts and my opinions regarding this topic. At the beginning I will start from myself, how was born the idea to become an English teacher. In fact when I was a kid I did not really like this job, but when I started to study English, love for this language made me to love teaching too. Otherwise, I totally agree with the quote that teachers have three loves: love of learning, love of learners and the love of bringing the first two loves together. So, what we understand as any other job in the world teaching except talent, other key elements that are part of it are also love and passion you have for this job, but also always working hard and having the courage to face every battle in order to improve yourself day by day. I know I am repeating the word love many times  on this post, but believe my dear colleagues ,if you do not feel something with your heart and soul  never do it. Love is the best medicine to do something good. By the way, it is of course important to mention that academic skills and preparation for a teacher must be always  on top, there is no doubt in this part. Therefore, If you have all these elements, be sure that results and your performance will be in the highest levels , but at the same time the feedback we take from our learners may be positive. To be clear what it makes happy a teacher is when he or she sees that his\her students achieve what is explained in the class, but what makes a teacher proud is when this teacher notices that has built a generation with people that first have human values and then of course are the best of their fields. Being a good teacher is strongly related how a good man you are and how well you have the talent to create good relationships with your students. You may be very well prepared but if you do not create a friendly environment for your learners and make them feel like home, maybe everything you explain cannot be acquired in the best way. At the end I advise myself at first than every teacher in the world being patient and do always our best .

Those who know, do. Those that understand, teach.’ –Aristotle

Thank you for your time!

    Hey Shpetim! I truly enjoyed reading your post. What caught my eye is the first quote "Teachers have three loves: love of learning, love of learners and the love of bringing the first two loves together.", and I can't agree more. As teachers, we will do everything that we can to ensure that each pupil or student becomes a productive, successful citizen in life. In order for us to obtain this goal, we need to create a loving, positive, respectful, and safe learning environment where each student will be treated equally and be encouraged to do his or her best.
    I like the way you perceive things, keep up the good work! :)

    Hi Shpetim! I totally agree with you. As teachers we should first know how to create a relationship based on love and understanding with our students because that is the base of a successful related and the solution of every problem related to teaching and class management. We can make their learning memorable only in a comfortable and stress free environment. We may very competent on our academic skills but how much would they worth if we can not teach them right to our students. Loved your work.

Some other tools that help learners to create projects

  Hi everyone! It looks like the time is flying and now I am writing my fifth blog post, but for me this post is like I am doing my first one because of useful topics we have treated so far in this subject. While, I have to admit that week after week lectures are becoming more and more interesting, so I can also say that our knowledge for technology in teaching is expanding. Let’s get back to action and talk about this week’s topic.   What are some other tech tools that may help us to create projects? Well we can mention some of them and see how do they work 1.       Padlet : When students are engaged in collaborative work, Padlet is a great tool for the classroom. It works as an online bulletin board where students can post ideas, images, videos, and more. With problem based learning, Padlet works as an excellent starting point where students can post research questions and post the answers they find as they research. 2.     ...

ABCD Objectives

  Hello everyone, this is my second blog post and today we are going talk about an interesting topic   we treated last lecture. Yeah it is about ABCD objectives and I saw important and useful elements of these objectives in our learning process , now as students and after as teachers.   At the beginning let's start with what are ABCD objectives, how do they help us to fulfill objectives we may have during a specific lecture and how this method also helps us to build an useful learning objective. After reading the lecture and in special this topic we can surely say   and claim that a simple way to make sure you’re building a useful learning objective is to use the ABCD method. Each letter in ABCD stands for a different part of your learning objective. These different parts answer four questions about your objective: who, what, how, and how well. The Four Parts of an ABCD Learning Objective A classic way to think about constructing a learning objective is that ...
